Made this rice to go with the Bobotie and it was excellent. Made a nice change from plain rice. Like most people I omitted the sugar.

Made this to go with the Bobotie recipe. After reading the comments, I also left the sugar out, I can't imagine how it would enhance it.... I also left the cardamom out as I didn't have any. Really lovely, it made a nice change from plain rice.

Far better than plain rice. Can't really fault it, just reduce/omit the sugar if you deem it necessary to compliment the main component of the meal.

Served this with All in one posh lamb balti, husband said was restaurant quality, left out the sugar and was definitely sweet enough.

Delicious! Prob the best rice I've ever cooked! Cooked just as per recipe & it was fab in texture & flavour. Served with the bobotie & tomato salad

This is one of my families favourite dishes and complements the bobotie perfectly. It needs the sweetness to balance the spice in the bobotie. I do use half the butter to keep the fat down. Amount of liquid is fine, just stir as soon a heat is turned off and make you sure your lid fits wells and don't be tempted to open the lid before its done.

Sorry forgot to say I didn't add sugar it and the raisins made it sweet enough

Absolutely delicious, great with the Bobotie and also with a curry.
I have had no problem with the rice cooking as per recipe - if you do just stir and put the lid back on the pan for a little longer.

I made this recently and was pretty pleased with the results. I was worried about the sweetness so i left out the sugar and raisins and as im not a fan of cardomom i put cumin in instead which worked really well. It made a really nice side with salad and chicken and a nice change from having potatoes
